Chapter 671: Borrowing the Imperial Examination to Entangle Wei Dongjia (Second Watch)
Wei Dongniang carefully looked at the person in front of her.
She had seen Xia Qiqi before, but at that moment, she had yellow muscles and thin muscles, and she couldn't pick out two taels of flesh on her body.
Wearing a piece of clothing is also like a child stealing an adult's clothes, which is weird and awkward.
It's only been more than two years, and she's a completely different person.
Now Xia Qiqi is wearing a cotton skirt with a high-quality fabric, although the bun is only the simplest bun, but the fair and pink face is enough to show that the person in front of him has undergone earth-shaking changes.
And she also heard that this girl opened a shop in the town, and there were several taels of income every day.
Because of these things, Wei Dongniang didn't dare to underestimate Xia Qiqi.
But she is Xia Duoyue's niece, so Wei Dongniang can't be enthusiastic about her.
can only cope with it so salty.
"Auntie, I came back from out of town and brought some local specialties, including food, cloth, and a woman's hairpin and some rouge, which you should be able to use." Xia Qiqi Dao.
Wei Dongniang was stunned, "You...... You said it was given to us? ”
"Yes! You hurry up and see if you like it or not! Xia Qiqi said.
Wei Dongniang followed Xia Qiqi's gaze and landed on the gift that Lu Jiu was holding.
The most conspicuous thing is the two pieces of cloth, and the other things are basically packed in boxes.
Even Wei Dongniang, who didn't wear any good clothes, knew that it was a good thing.
It should be worth a lot of money.
"You...... Why did you give us something? Wei Dongniang stammered and asked.
"Because of Wei Dong, because of you, or because of my sister-in-law."
Xia Qiqi did not avoid Xia Duoyue.
Anyway, it's a problem that can't be avoided.
At the mention of Xia Duoyue, Wei Dongniang's expression changed.
"You ...... this thing" She was just about to ask Xia Qiqi to take it back, but Xia Qiqi said: "Here, there is nothing that my sister-in-law can use!" ”
After speaking, she beckoned to Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu stepped forward in a few steps.
"Can you let us in?" Xia Qiqi asked.
Wei Dongniang didn't know what was wrong with her, so she turned sideways and let Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu in.
In the past few days, Xia Duoyue has returned to her home.
Wei Dong studied hard in his room to cope with the autumn of the coming year.
Lu Jiu did as Xia Qiqi said, and put all the gifts on the table in the hall.
Wei Dongniang didn't know what was going on, so she was relieved.
"Dong'er is studying in it, I'll call him!" Wei Dongniang said.
"No, you don't! Auntie, I came here today to discuss something with you. Xia Qiqi said.
"What do you say about Dong'er and your sister-in-law?" The smile on Wei Dongniang's face was a little colder.
"It's impossible to agree, I will never agree to my son marrying a woman who is nothing, not to mention that she is so much older than our Dong'er." Wei Dongniang wanted to cut off Xia Qiqi's way in one go.
No matter how insistent her son is, she will not admit that woman as her daughter-in-law.
"I'm not here to discuss this with you! The choice of marriage is up to Wei Dong, and in my sister-in-law, I won't get involved, and there's no reason to get involved!
I want to say that Wei Dong can borrow the cost of going to Ningzhou to participate in the Autumn Festival from me first! If he wins the move and wants to go to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, I can also lend it here. Of course, in the future, Wei Dong will get ahead, and he will have to pay back tenfold! ”
Xia Qiqi Dao.
These words made Wei Dongniang's original vigilance in her heart disappear all of a sudden.
The Wei family is poor, and over the years, in order to send Wei Dong to study, he has already spent all his family's savings, and his relatives are afraid of borrowing.
Wei Dongniang has always been worried about her son Qiuyu's entanglement, and she even ...... I even thought about selling myself to make up that money.
Unexpectedly, now her predicament was solved by Xia Qiqi.
Especially what Xia Qiqi said, let them pay it back ten times in the future, which made Wei Dongniang feel that she was not a person with special intentions.
If she can let her son participate in the Autumn Festival, Mo said that she will be returned ten times in the future, that is, a hundred times more, and she will have absolutely no complaints.
"Seventy-seven...... Thank you! Wei Dongniang called Xia Qiqi's name, and tears almost flowed out.
"I'm also doing it for myself!" Xia Qiqi said.
After speaking, she took out a silver ticket and handed it directly to Wei Dongniang.
"Here is one hundred taels, enough for Wei Dong to participate in the autumn and spring festivals, and even the palace examination, but when it is returned, it must be one thousand taels!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
Wei Dongniang glanced at the silver ticket, did not take it, but said, "You...... You wait, I'll ask my son to write an IOU first! ”
Wei Dongniang rushed into the backyard and arrived at Wei Dong's house.
At this moment, Wei Dong was still reading, and she stepped forward directly, looking a little excited.
"Son, IOU, hurry up and write the IOU, my mother has received the money for you to go to Beijing to catch the exam." Wei Dongniang said.
"Mother, you...... What are you talking about? Wei Dong frowned.
"Silly boy! It's Xia Qiqi, she's back! She sent something to our family, and she said that you were in a hurry to take the exam, she lent it to you, and let you pay it back ten times in the future! Wei Dongniang said.
If in the past, Wei Dong didn't know who Xia Qiqi was, and when he didn't recognize himself clearly, he would definitely refuse.
But now, he really needed that money.
Whether it's for a better life in the future, or to fulfill the promise I made at the beginning.
"Mother, I'll write!"
Wei Dong got up and wrote an IOU from the rice paper on the pavement, in duplicate.
After writing, he put his fingerprint on both IOUs.
His mother pressed it too.
With the IOU, Wei Dong walked to the hall, where Xia Qiqi was talking and laughing with Lu Jiu.
The two of them stand together, like a pair of beautiful people, so good and eye-catching.
Walk up with an IOU, "I've already written!" You can also press the mudra, you can take it to the village chief, let him see it, and then press the handprint. ”
Xia Qiqi took the IOU given by Wei Dong and gave it to Lu Jiu beside him.
Seeing that Xia Qiqi didn't look at it, Wei Dong added, "I will also write in a thousand taels when the time comes, if you don't believe it, you can also ask the village chief, or Fugen, Fugen knows words." ”
Xia Qiqi smiled, "Don't look at it, I believe in you!" If it's okay, Ah Jiu and I will go back first! ”
Things were sent out, and what was to be said, was also said.
Xia Qiqi had no reason to stay.
Suddenly, Wei Dong swept the things on the table and hurriedly spoke, "You get the things back, we have already borrowed money from you, and we can't ask for these." ”
Xia Qiqi said: "Since I have borrowed money, then this little thing is nothing, if you have to count it, if it is developed, give me ten times it!" ”
Wei Dong gritted his teeth and nodded, "You wait for me for a while, and I'll go write an IOU!" ”
Xia Qiqi's face was full of helplessness, he was really a nerd, he believed whatever she said!
"I don't need an IOU, I have a good memory, you have made a fortune, if you don't pay me back tenfold, I will trouble you!"
